How VR Porn Movies Are Shot

Virtual reality porn movies were the second type of movies that appeared after virtual reality was presented as a new type of entertainment. As soon as movie makers learned to shoot breathtaking movies about oceans, nature, flying in space, and offering the most fantastic locations for virtual reality experience, porn industry immediately adopted the innovation and started offering VR porn movies.

It all started from short videos of limited scope and quality. However, with time the scope grew to 180 degrees of a panorama, the length and quality of the videos increased, and the popularity increased as well.

According to current data, users pay for a year-long subscription for VR porn movies on specialized websites almost immediately they find such websites. VR reality replaces usual porn videos, and many big corporations in the industry have shifted their focus to VR porn videos exclusively.

The Process of Shooting

The process of shooting a VR porn movie has a row of limitations and peculiarities. The first issue is that considering that the majority of the users are male and therefore the majority of VR porn movies offer the user the role of the male, male actors mainly have to remain motionless. They have a limited scope of allowed movements in order not to distort the image in the VR glasses.

This leads to the fact that the number of poses and actually angles of shooting rapidly decreases because obviously, the camera cannot shoot particular parts of the body that the watcher naturally cannot see. In addition, the male actor should constantly keep his head thrown back, in order not to show his head in the camera, which, in its turn, is always placed above his head. Such a position, male actors say, considerably complicates their performance, because they have to stay aroused all the time. Also, male actors have a limitation on phrases or sounds, because the camera is right above them and the sound can be distorted.

Female actresses, on the other hand, have their own difficulties while shooting. The first issue is that the whole movement in the video becomes their responsibility. While the male actor has almost no opportunity to support her in poses, the poses are rather limited, but still, she has to provide variety.

The sound is also the responsibility of the female because she has to talk to the potential user and create the illusion of the interaction. At the same time, porn actresses say, they had to learn to look into the camera, instead of looking where they would naturally look. On the other hand, directors state that constant visual contact with the actress can be tiresome for the user. So they have to balance all these things while shooting. If the actress chooses a wrong pose, the image can become distorted, because virtual reality glasses see the image in a slightly different way.

Due to all those complications and nuances, the shooting of virtual reality porn movie usually lasts twice as long as the shooting of a simple porn video. Also, it costs twice as simple video. However, profits are worth it.
